The pilot who caused the frantic evacuation of the Capitol and the White House last month has given up trying to get his pilot's license back, at least for now. The FAA will allow Hayden Sheaffer to apply for a new certificate in 10 months.

The pilot of a plane that was intercepted by the military earlier this month said Tuesday he thought he was going to get "shot out of the sky." "There was no doubt in my mind," said Hayden L. "Jim" Sheaffer, who also revealed that he was handcuffed and interrogated by federal authorities.

The Senate recessed for a brief period Monday night after an unidentified plane entered Washington's restricted airspace, two weeks after another airplane caused emergency evacuations of the White House and Capitol.

The government is pledging to take serious action against the pilot whose small plane strayed over Washington last week, leading to the panicked evacuations of the White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court.
